DC Comics Art — Death by Jim Calafiore

Death is prob­ably the strongest char­acter in Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series. More so than the rather wishy-washy Sandman himself. It helps of course that her portrayal runs so contrary to the tradi­tional appear­ance of death.

The design of this partic­ular sketch is actu­ally a homage to the LIFE Maga­zine cover featuring Alfred Hitch­cock posed in similar fashion for his movie The Birds.
